An announcer is saying, "Please welcome our very own John Smith!"
The announcer pauses after "welcome."
I'm trying to write it like this:
"Please welcome," He pauses for effect. "our very own John Smith!"
I'm just not sure how to punctuate and capitalize it. Should "he" be capitalized? Should effect have a comma or a period after it? Should "our" be capitalized? Is there a way to do this without moving the words around?
I understand there might not be a conventional way to do this, so if you have any ideas about what feels most natural to you, please do leave a comment!
